Q

Properties of water

A
  1. Universal Solvent: Dissolves more substances than any other substance. All chemical reactions depend on solvent properties. Great at transporting electrolytes and nutrients.
  2. High heat of vaporization.
    Hydrogen bonds make water require a lot of energy to change from one state of matter to another. So it has high heat of vaporization. As sweat evaporates from skin, large amounts of heat leave causing us to cool down.
  3. High heat capacity:
    Prevents rapid changes of body temperature since it requires a lot of energy to raise it’s temperature. Redistributes heat throughout body tissues.
    Protects from excess heat throughout exposure or muscle activity.
